editThe scope is so much narrower than the title, that there must be a better place for this information. It covers only the official reasons for allowing German Jews into Britain. David R. Ingham (talk) 04:50, 21 March 2013 (UTC)
- This hasn't received any attention in almost 3.5 years, but raises a good point. I'll change the title to reflect the content, then work on linking better. If this doesn't work, then at least better linking will help the numbers contributing to a discussion here. Klbrain (talk) 10:24, 2 September 2016 (UTC)
- @David R. Ingham and Klbrain: great points. I raised a question at Talk:The Holocaust (here) about potential merge opportunities before seeing this post. I am going to work on the article, and perhaps an overview article about Jewish refugees during World War II or Jews escaping from Nazi Europe (which I just found out redirects to this article).
- Any pointers, potential sources, etc. are appreciated. In the meantime, I'll google around a bit.–CaroleHenson (talk) 16:09, 1 July 2017 (UTC)

- Find sources for: Chaim Weizmann, first president of Israel, stated that the world was divided between countries that wanted to get rid of the Jews, and those that didn't want them. (See this) - Done Britain article. — Some scholars call that: "Entrapment". The reader of the article would better understand why the Jews couldn't leave Germany.

Immigrants by 1939
editYad Vashem states that there were more than 80,000 who came to Britain in the exodus from Nazi Germany here, but I am generally seeing the count as about 70,000 - as is cited in the article.
Is there a known source with the best or definitive count? Thanks!–CaroleHenson (talk) 18:22, 3 July 2017 (UTC)

Australia migration after the War
editHi community my edit will be for the page Jews escaping from German-occupied Europe. I was reading through and noticed there was no information on organizations within Australia and the countries efforts during and after the war which are important information for this topic. The reference I am using is a book called The Young Victims of the Nazi Regime published by Bloomsbury Academic. My plan is to add about 100 words under the section other countries. If anyone wants to comment on these changes, please let me know on this Talk Page or on my Talk Page. Thank you!Heather2468357 (talk) 06:19, 18 November 2019 (UTC)
